In JAMA Neurology, the group challenged the "movement" to define Alzheimer's disease as a "purely biological entity based on biomarker findings."
The field's rapid advances make securing reimbursement an important area of focus, researchers in a recent commentary argued.
Hospitals Figuring Out How to Incorporate Beta-Amyloid Testing in Standard Clinical Practice

The diagnostic firm's approach involves testing for tau that's bound to small lipid particles known as extracellular vesicles using its APEX platform.
The company drew on data from prior studies and simulations to show what happens when patients stop receiving the beta-amyloid-targeting drug.
